In Denmark the records of 10,000 people were examined. Since 1996 vibration perception has been done in type one and type two diabetes patients in a specialist diabetes centre.
In middle aged type one patients, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy fell five fold between 1996 and 2018.
In older people with type two diabetes the incidence of polyneuropathy halved.
As polyneuropathy is often the precursor to ulceration and amputation, this is good news indeed.
